THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6, 10-12 and 14-16, and 10 more places -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is BYE BYE BYE?

87 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is BYE BYE BYE hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

71 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in BYE BYE BYE?

8 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 20, 28, 29, 30, 33, 41 and 6 more.
